White, Black & Golden Tigers

[Pckts]

White tigers are all crosseyed. Even if they don't show it, all of them have genetic eye difformities, and usually cleft lips etc..
There is no way to bred a single indian white tiger and have it not be inbred. There is no "natural way". The only way it could ever happen now is if we found two different wild tigers that where from different regions and bred them. The only way we could ever "conserve" the gene, is to let it occur naturally in the wild and then LEAVE IT ALONE. We are too quick to take these natural phenomenoms out of their natural habitat to "study" them. If it occurs and sticks, then we must let it happen. But up until now, it has never occured and stuck. From what I have seen, of course. If those images exist of the wild mother, then I will change my view of white tigers being able to grow to adulthood in the wild. 
The white gene most very likely does still exist in the wild, the reason its rare is becasue both cats must carry it which makes the chances of them finding eachother and not being related, very, very rare. 

I would definitely call white tigers bengals, IF we found them in the wild. In captivity I will throw them in with N. American Bengals, or other captive tigers in the states/europe.

I definitely respect your stance on them, but I dont think we will agree on this one.
